Aleph Zero Ecosystem Funding Program

The Aleph Zero Ecosystem Funding Program deploys $45 million to accelerate projects building on their blazingly fast blockchain. If you're developing DeFi protocols, privacy-focused applications, NFT platforms, gaming infrastructure, or tooling that leverages Aleph Zero's instant finality and modular ZK capabilities, this program provides capital and ecosystem support to scale your product. The foundation backs teams pushing boundaries in zero-knowledge cryptography, cross-chain interoperability, and privacy-preserving smart contracts.

Successful applicants demonstrate technical competence with Aleph Zero's architecture, clear product-market fit, and realistic go-to-market execution. The program prioritizes projects that expand network utility, drive meaningful transaction volume, or showcase unique features like ZK-based privacy layers. Teams get more than funding—expect technical collaboration with core developers, marketing amplification through Aleph Zero channels, and introductions to ecosystem partners and investors.
